Famous quotes containing the words supreme and/or commander:

    Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her; she knows by a process of the intellect; but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin’s lot.
    Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    A commander in the field must sometimes go against the king’s orders.
    Chinese proverb.
